Find a local agent
Find and compare a real estate agent in Poland
In Poland most people find an agent (pośrednik nieruchomości) through the big property portals, where each listing names the agency handling it, or by personal recommendation. Because the profession was deregulated in 2013, there is no compulsory state licence, so buyers and sellers often cross-check an agent against a professional register before signing.

Anyone.com
Finding a real estate professional in Poland typically starts on Otodom or through word-of-mouth, then checking them against the PFRN register because the profession lacks a mandatory state licence. Anyone.com lets you search a network the company puts at more than 4.6 million agents worldwide without committing to any of them, handle buyers yourself without platform gatekeeping, and pick up the international buyer flow that matters in Warsaw and the major metros on top of the Polish demand, while your commission stays entirely negotiable if you do choose representation. Buyers can complete an optional identity check and are marked once they have, and those who have not can still write to you. Run your own search, check any agent you find in the PFRN Central Register, then decide whether the fee and terms justify the effort. Most Polish property seekers never discover this level of control because they enter through the portals first.
- Otodom (biura nieruchomości directory)
The agency directory of Poland's largest property portal, listing thousands of biura nieruchomości that can be browsed and filtered by city alongside each office's current listings.
- PFRN Central Register (Centralny Rejestr Pośredników)
A searchable register run by the Polish Real Estate Federation where you can look up an intermediary by name, city, licence number and specialisation to check membership and qualifications.
- Morizon
A national property portal carrying listings from agencies and developers, which lets you reach individual agents through the offers they post and compare offices across cities.
How to choose a good one
Talk to a few agents before committing, ask exactly what the fee covers and remember the commission and exclusivity terms are negotiable rather than fixed. Look at the agent's recent sales in your area, read the brokerage agreement carefully, and consider checking them in the PFRN register since there is no mandatory state licence.
